@geoffduncan Maybe I'm weirdly visual, but my pre-experience of the music was the imagery, so the album covers are totems of a sort
@samvarma
I remember my friends going over every detail, talking about hem, speculating, etc. I just didn’t for whatever reason—and *I* was the visual arts kid!But I remember making sure my parents never saw this one. Or heard it. (Ironic given what happened a few years s later.) About ten seconds of this still lives rent-free in my head whenever someone tells me “Play something terrifying.”

Bits hold up, “Electric Eye” could be covered today. The end of the title track is still the platonic ideal of a divebomb+rage for me.A few years later local parents would sue Judas Priest for the suicides of their sons, claiming subliminal messages egged them on. The band was acquitted.

@billyjoebowers @geoffduncan Yeah don't ask me why... I always liked the well-known songs, just never bit down on it

@rowan_johnson Interesting because I always think of Dookie as their classic, but for many it's probably this

@geoffduncan I do remember that story. Also crazy how much chorus they had in their guitar sound!

@gogmagog @samvarma I saw them on the previous album tour. Animal Magnetism. I was a huge fan at the time and was surprised by Mattias being in the band. I was hoping for Michael or Uli. Mr Jabs did a great job nonetheless. I screamed myself hoarse yelling for them to play Sails of Charon or Polar Night.
